  3. SUBSECTION 1 (Chapter 1) • The author of this book starts out by lying out some of the reasons why people in general don’t enjoy reading. And this is because they believe that not even a life time will be enough to read near a thousand of the books in the universe. Hence he talk about the two components that books have which are: the location and the content. A person can get the content of the book just by reading it thoroughly and entirely. But, on the other hand, the location of the book is what you really need in order to able to talk about books. This component consists of knowing the time when it was written, other books it can be associated to and an overall knowledge of the content. For example the author states that for the book Ulysses, for the location you must know that it was written by Joyce and that in a way it is a similar retelling of the Odyssey.

  4. SUBSECTION 2 (Chapter 2) • In this section of the book, the author introduces the process of skimming through books. He describes that in order to write a well written article or give a conference with talking points from the book it is only necessary to have an overall knowledge of the book. He also mentions that the fastest and easiest way to accomplish this is through skimming the books. Being familiar with the tittle, the author, the way the book is divided, how long it is, the level of vocabulary, be aware of any specific writing trends and have a general idea on the content.

  6. SUBSECTION 3 (Chapter 3) • In this chapter called: Books you have heard of, the author presents a new technique that the reader and in the future, speakers may use to acquire knowledge on a book they have not read. There are many many books that you have heard about, but that have had the misfortune of not finding it anywhere. Never the less, “The impossibility of accessing the text only served to highlight its projective nature, as the book becomes the receptacle of both characters fantasies.”When confronted to a similar situation in the future you cannot just give up, you must still talk about the book based on the reviews that those around you gave to him, and depending on those built upon it to create a concrete and complete hard copy. Also he goes on to state and explain the logic of books. Which primarily consist of “We derive this ability from the fact that every book is governed by a certain logic …” Including: knowing the antecedendant to predict general outlines, know the internal development of structure, and last is the external environment.

  7. SUBSECTION 4 (Chapter 4) • In this chapter: Books you have forgotten, the author moves further on to explain the factor of forgetting the books you read and are exposed to. He clarifies this by stating: “Reading is not just acquainting ourselves with a text or acquiring knowledge; it is also from its first moments, an inevitable process of forgetting.” and then states a possible resolution for this unavoidable issue: note-taking. As the author continues to write he includes the fear of losing memory and being unable to distinguish is you have read a book or not. Explains it as: “It is no great wonder if my book follows the fate of other books, and if my memory lets go of what I write as of what I read, and of what I give as for what I receive.” Which leads to the act of repetition and relationships to the books. In the end it all forms part of the social situation you are encountered in.
